Time in Cancún, Mexico

Time zone: EST (UTC/GMT -05:00) — America/Cancun

Local time here is EST, which sits 5 hours behind UTC, written UTC-05:00. The canonical zone name is America/Cancun, and that is what to pick from a time zone dropdown.

There is no daylight saving in Cancún. UTC-05:00 applies all year, so the offset never moves on this side — only the other party's clock changes.
